NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

3D Signatures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: DXD) (the "Company" or "3DS") is pleased to announce that it has issued a total of 5,187,618 units (the "Units") pursuant to its previously announced brokered private placement (the "Private Placement"). The Units were sold at a price per Unit of $0.75, for total gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $3,890,714, which includes the partial exercise by the Agents (as defined below) of the over-allotment option.

Each Unit issued pursuant to the Private Placement consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional Common Share at a price of $0.92 until December 16, 2018. In the event that, at any time after June 16, 2017, the closing price of the Company's Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") for a period of 20 consecutive trading days exceeds $1.35, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to that date that is 30 days following the date on which the Company sends notice to the holders of the Warrants of the new expiry date.

The Private Placement was brokered by a syndicate of agents that was led by Haywood Securities Inc., and included Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Mackie Research Capital Corporation (together, the "Agents"). In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid the Agents an aggregate cash commission of approximately $311,257, equal to eight per cent (8%) of the gross proceeds raised under the Private Placement. The Company also issued to the Agents 415,009 broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants"), equal to eight per cent (8%) of the Units sold pursuant to the Private Placement. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.75 until December 16, 2018. The terms of the Private Placement allow for the issuance of an additional tranche of up to a maximum of 812,382 Units, subject to approval by the Exchange and compliance with the time limits prescribed in its policies.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to fund clinical trials and for working capital and general corporate purposes. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a four month hold period expiring on April 17, 2017.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to sell any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
